Hi guys,
I have been unable to do any exercise for 6 or 7 years now due to suffering with M.E and fibromyalgia (it is at the point now where walking is an issue for me which is annoying).
My problem is that I hate being inactive. I'm not able to work for the same reasons and I can't get out of the house on my own as I can't really get around without support.
Someone had suggested yoga or pilates but I don't want to do something like that unless I'm following a qualified instructor as I really don't want to do myself an injury!
I had thought of getting myself a little exercise bike at the end of this month and was wondering the best way of starting an exercise regime on that.
I was thinking 3 times a week for 30 minutes to start with and then building up (this would allow me time between each session to recover and rest properly).
Is this a good idea or should I be starting differently?
Any thoughts/suggestions/ideas are welcome!
